99% of dealers know nothing about future product schedules. And of course they don't want you to wait, they want to sell cars now and not worry about two years from now.

:word:
Back in 2009 my dealer knew NOTHING about the up and coming rebirth of the 5TH Gen. I, was actually keeping THEM in the loop as to what was coming and when. They wanted to know how I knew all this, and I refused to give them my sources, but in the end everything I told them was true. It helped me a lot when it came to ordering my Camaro!

I don't believe they can design and tool up for a '16 remodel in 18 months unless they started already. Thirty months June '16 for a new '17 model is my guess.

I read somewhere (don't remember where, and don't quote me), but it usually takes about 3yrs for a new vehicle to go from design to pre-production.

I agree, why change it if it's still so popular! and GM is still making its biggest revenue from the Camaro and still outselling the Mustang

If the GM Design Team needs some inspiration for the next 6th Gen, here is my own concept I made , what do you guys think ?

Inspired from the new 2014 Corvette with the new LEDs , new curved lines...

Very agressive looking :thumbsup:, but the fat "european" fenders have to go :thumbdown:

So what year is the new body style is going to come out

This! No doubt. It'll be lighter. My guess is 300lbs lighter than SS. Around 3450-3500lbs. Hopefully has MORE power than now naturally aspirated. A 12.5 second SS would be great.

Then issue out another Z/28 that weighs about 3250-3300 lbs with an LS7 AND an optional SS with an LS7 with a track pack or just a dry sump LS7 in it.

The LS series is dead. The 6th gen Camaro will have one of the new LT motors under the hood.

This is my guess as well, and one of the reasons we won't see a Z/28 in the 6th Gen....

Think about guys. Only the first Gen last less than 9 years. Why would they change to a different Gen if it's only been out 4 years? I bet it will be closer to 2016 or 2017.

Because a new Mustang is right around the corner.

Anyone who refers to previous generation intervals to predict the 6th gen's debut is delusional.

While I agree with you - someone forgot their coffee this morning.

anyone who posts that they know when the 6gen is out is delusional or lying or both.

the next Camaro will be on the same platform as the Cadillac ATS , which is out, and CTS, which is coming out later this year. the 6thgen will almost assuredly be out for 2016, not only because they already have the chassis, not only because there's a new mustang , but that platform weigh's a few hundred pounds less.

Nobody knows except engineering. But we can speculate pretty well at this point. Especially since we know when the 5th gen will be going offline at Oshawa.

I bet there will be unless GM doesn't do a C7Z06 either.

I think spring '16 as a '17. (50th anniv.)
